Lost to Eton Boy by a long way
Lost to Eton Boy by a long way
In an effort to make Alex lose they gave me the Lola, which turned out to be impossible to row - pitched funnily to one side and very unstable. I suggested a more appropriate handicap would be to start Eton Boy off with his blades the wrong way round, then he could either switch them and row properly, or have to row with them back to front. Either way, he probably still would have won, to be fair.
Thanks to Eton boy for his advice on the start line "just rememeber the wobble is due to you, not the boat".

Plate 1st round
Beat Mike easily

Afraid I've been doing quite a lot of cheating this week, mostly to avoid work, not too bad a scull for me really.
Plate semi finals
Beat Jude by some amount?

"A crabtacular display of sculling" as we both agreed, by both parties. Fortunately for me I caught slightly fewer than Jude. Sure she'll get her revenge in Foster-Fairbairns though! :)
Plate final
Lost to RTT

The sculling was actually going pretty well, and I even seemed to not be losing too much ground until the umpire started telling me to steer - straight[ish] lines are apparently all i can cope with when sculling - can we hold this at Dorney next year?? Even then it wasn't too crab worthy, by my standards- quite a pleasing row really.
